The women vanished one by one through September 2009, the month before Sowell's arrest.
The state's final witness was homicide Detective Lem Griffin. He participated in the interrogation of the 51-year-old defendant. The interrogation of Sowell was videotaped and shown to the jury over three days through Monday morning.
After the prosecution rested, the judge sent jurors home and told them to return Tuesday morning for the start of Sowell's defense.
Sowell has pleaded not guilty and could face the death penalty if convicted. Police say the victims were lured with drugs and alcohol.
